When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder -- much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Clary knows she should call the police, but it's hard to explain a murder when the body disappears into thin air and the murderers are invisible to everyone but Clary. They are Shadowhunters, killers of demons. No one should have witnessed the disposal so, how is it that Clary saw? The Shadowhunters would very much like to know....

The Hunger Games/Collins
In a future not so distant from now, a shining city arises out of the ruins of what used to be North America. The Capitol, surrounded by 12 districts, has total control of its people. The one time the districts dared to rise up, they were crushed. Now, each year, two tributes, a boy and a girl, are chosen from each district to compete in the Hunger Games. Imagine the Roman coliseum where gladiators, Christians, or enemies of the state battle each other to the death, for the entertainment of the people. Now imagine the reality show Survivor, where contestants complete physical tasks, form alliances and try not to get voted off the island. Combine them and multiply the worst aspects of each by 10 and you have the Hunger Games. There can be only one winner.
